In need of easy speech topics for class

Hey fam, for my English class I've been assigned to do a speech. To be honest, public speaking isn't my forte, so I'm trying to find an easy topic that I can cover well. Any suggestions?

Sure, I definitely understand the discomfort that can come with public speaking. But don't worry, here are a few topics which are fairly simple to talk about, and there should be plenty of resources available on these subjects to aid your research.

1. Impact of Technology: You could discuss how technology has changed our lives, either for the better or worse. The current improvements in technology, such as the rise of AI, can be a great subject to talk about.

2. Health and Fitness: This is a pretty versatile topic as it can cover anything from the importance of regular exercise, to interesting diet trends, or even the effects of mental health on overall wellness.

3. Environmental Issues: The importance of recycling, the future of renewable energy, or the danger posed by climate change can be good speaking points.

4. Educational System: You could comment on the current educational system, pondering if it truly prepares students for real-world challenges. Or discuss alternatives like homeschooling or unconventional learning methods.

5. Popular Culture: Dissect a popular movie, music artist, or book and discuss what messages it's sending to the audience.

Remember, an effective speech isn't necessarily about the complexity of the topic, but your ability to convey ideas clearly and engagingly. So, choose a topic you're personally interested in or excited about! It's often easier to talk about things we genuinely care about or have some personal interest in. Good luck!
